Panasonic PT-DZ570U overview

1Description

The Panasonic PT-DZ570U WUXGA Projector is flexible and powerful enough to thrive in a variety of working conditions. It is specifically designed to deal with full-HD widescreen sources, such as from a Blu-ray player. With a brightness of 4000 Lumens and a contrast ratio of 2000:1, the PT-DZ570U uses a single lamp and efficient focusing reflector to minimize consumption to only 415W. It has a widescreen aspect ratio and WUXGA resolution of 1920 x 1200 that are complimented by an increased functionality and a variety of features.

The PT-DZ570U uses an RGB Booster to enhance color. It increases color brightness through Vivid Color Control technology. The lamp Modulation Drive System controls lamp intensity for each color. This optimizes light usage and obtains color balance without lowering brightness. The PT-DZ570U also thrives in the daylight, by correcting image sharpness when projecting in light areas.

The PT-DZ570U enjoys multiple input terminals, which enhance flexibility. There are HDMI and DVI-D inputs, as well as composite, RCA and S-video inputs. For network connection, the PT-DZ570U has an RS-232 and RJ45 terminal. The RS-232 jack even has an Emulation feature that lets you replace an existing Panasonic projector on your network, without changing the control settings.

The PT-DZ570U includes a web browser control for LAN operation. Through this connection, administrators can control and monitor multiple projectors at the same time. Any errors that occur at each projector are emailed back to the administrator's computer. An optional wireless adapter (sold separately), lets you give wireless presentations from your laptop. When you're finished, the projector reconnects to the LAN network automatically.

When installing the PT-DZ570U, plenty of features aid with proper installation. The horizontal and vertical lens shift will let you accommodate many room sizes and shapes and the zoom increases the chances that your existing ceiling mount will not need to be moved. The Flexible Angle feature lets you rotate the unit 360° vertically, to ensure angled installation is problem-free. Panasonic's cooling system allows installation even with ambient temperatures reaching up to 113° F. The lens-centered design also ensures that installation will be easy and not require multiple placements around the room to establish what works best.

Panasonic has also included several features that limit maintenance. The Cooling system and dust-resistant design extend lamp and air-filter life to 2000 hours of operation. Plus, when the lamp is ready to be changed, the PT-DZ570U affords easy lamp replacement even when it is ceiling mounted. The rear hatch opens, making lamp replacement quick and simple.

For making cutting-edge presentations, the Side-by-Side function allows simultaneous display from two image sources on a single screen. You can display an image from a PC, right next to a video image. This feature also takes advantage of the widescreen capabilities of the PT-DZ570U. You can export sound via the audio output to an external source, giving you even greater flexibility to run this projector in medium-sized presentation rooms. Whether you're interested in improving your business training or classroom technology, the PT-DZ570U uses a wealth of features and functions to ensure quality video playback and vivid color reproduction.

Full HD-Ready WUXGA Resolution

Due to the increased popularity of widescreen formats, including Blu-ray content, the PT-DZ570U features native WUXGA resolution for high-def viewing. This brings you lifelike projection of intricate, highly detailed images

RGB Booster

The RGB Booster achieves high image quality with levels of color reproduction and brightness that make each color stand out. It combines Panasonic's proprietary Vivid Color Control technology with a Lamp Modulation Drive System for a 1-chip DLP projector that produces bright and vivid colors

Vivid Color Control

This unique control technology optimizes the use of the color segment areas of the color wheel. It increases the brightness of each RGB color

Lamp Modulation Drive System

With the advanced lamp modulation technology, the projector is now able to control the lamp intensity for each of the red, green, blue and white segments of the color wheel separately. Because the actual light output is controlled in relation to each color segment, light usage is optimized and color balance is obtained without lowering the brightness. This results in bright, vivid images with increased color fidelity

Web Browser Control

This unit can be easily operated remotely over a LAN, because it is done using the computer's Web browser. Furthermore, the projector sends an email message to notify the operator when an error has occurred, or a lamp needs to be replaced

Multi Projector Monitoring

Panasonic's original freeware "Multi Projector Monitoring & Control Software Ver. 2" allows the user to control and monitor multiple projectors at the same time over a wired LAN. When a problem occurs, an alarm message is sent to the monitoring / controlling PC

Side-by-Side Function

You can simultaneously display images from two sources onto a single screen. For example, you can display a PC image on the left and a video image on the right. Taking advantage of the wide-screen projection, this function gives you a host of new application possibilities to explore

Multiple Terminals

Interfaces include a DVI-D and HDMI inputs. The serial terminal (RS-232C) has an Emulate function that lets you continue using existing control systems when replacing a previous Panasonic model. It is also possible to output audio during Standby mode. This is convenient when connecting an external audio system through the projector

H / V Lens Shift and 2 x Zoom Lens

The horizontal / vertical lens shift let you accommodate a wide range of room sizes and shapes. When replacing existing projectors, the 2 x zoom greatly enhances your ease of installation and can reduce costs by permitting the use of existing mounting positions and cabling

Detail Clarity Processor 3

The frequency of the video signal is analyzed for each scene, and distribution data is extracted for the ultra high, high, medium and low-range frequencies. High-precision detection is applied from 2-dimensional horizontal / vertical data to produce more natural, lifelike images with high definition

Optional Wireless Module

The optional Wireless Module (sold separately) lets you utilize wireless projection for a smooth, hassle-free presentation. You can make the settings for wireless connection quickly and easily using Wireless Manager ME 5.5 software. When the presentation is finished, Wireless Manager restores the PC to its previous LAN settings, so the PC is ready to reconnect to your LAN. Functions include Live mode and Multi-Live Mode. In Live mode, the image projected is identical to the image seen on the PC screen. In Multi-Live mode, you can wirelessly connect with multiple PCs

Daylight View

This function corrects the image quality to project sharp, clear images even in brightly lit rooms. A luminance sensor measures the ambient brightness, and a real-time adjustment function optimizes sharpness and brightness according to the surroundings

Flexible Angle Setting

The unit can be rotated 360° vertically. This means you can install it at any up-and-down angle you wish to accommodate different installation conditions

Cooling System

The cooling system has been updated. It optimizes the airflow inside the unit. As a result, it offers better cooling efficiency and allows the projector to be used in ambient temperatures up to 113° F (45° C)

Reduced Maintenance

The cooling system combines with a dust-resistant design based on a sealed optical block to achieve a lamp and lamp air filter replacement cycle of 2,000 hours. This greatly reduces maintenance hassles

Easy Lamp Replacement

You can replace the lamp from the rear. The lamp is easily replaced even after the projector is installed on the ceiling

Lens-Centered Design

A lens-centered, symmetrical design provides ease of installation, eliminating the need for any special considerations when planning the installation site

Rec. 709 Mode for HDTV Projection

Optimal color reproduction can be achieved by selecting this mode, compliant with ITU-R Recommendation BT.709, when images from an HDTV source are projected
